1t is II terrible mistake when mothers
do too much for their children, yet ii
is very difficult to draw the line be-
tween that and proper consideration

natural to be anticipating for them,
and mingled with the feeling there is,

THE SUPREME COURT.
Bits of Medieval Etiquette Resurrected for
the Benefit of This Body.

the Benefit of This Body.
The assembling of the Supreme
Court at Washington on the second
Monday in October is always the oc-
casion of the beginning of the cere.
monial courtesies, which are annually
exchanged between the coordinate
powers of the Government. The Chief
Justice and Associates, i'll their robes
of Office. take their seats upon the SUI
preme bench and begin their sessions.
After preliminary directions as to the
commencement of business the court
adiourns. Having laid aside their
robes the Court in a body, attended by
its own officers and accompanied by
the Acknowledgement and the Solicitor
General, proceed to the Executive
Mansion and. being formally an-
nounced, are received by the President
in the audience parlor. The Chief
Justice congratulated the President
upon disappearance and good health.
After the Associates in turn present
their compliments, the Court retires.
1t would then be custom to leave
card at the residence of the Vice-Presi-
Js
officlo chief officer of the upper body
| of Congress, the second coordinate
branch of the Government. The Presi-
dent never returning call in form,
| except that of sovereign, ruler of q
country or member OF royal family
visiting Washington, does not return
the call of the Court. During the sea-
son, however. it is custom for him to
| give state dinner in its honor.
The Vice-President or President pro-
tempore of the Senate, If in the city,
or within reasonable time after his
return, leaves a return card at the resi-
dence of the Chief Justice. This in
troductory ceremonial occasion is fol-
lowed by calls of etiquette among the
members of the court and their ladies
in society, the Associates first calling
upon the Chief Justice and then junior
upon senior Justices, return calls be-
ing made in the same order of proceed
sncc. The ladies of the court are at
home on Mondays during the season,
at which time persons in social rela-
tons with the court circle or others in
polite society may call, the dress OH
these occasions being afternoon OF
street costume. These Mondays al
home give rise to a general movement
in social circles, followed by q rount
of courteses in advance of the rush o
gayety in fashionable life, which comes
late during the Congressional and AID
: ministration seasons. The code o
etiquette of the Supreme Court circl
was founded on the early social prac
tees of the old school of manner
established by the first President AM
; his wife and incorporated into tn
social regime of the court by its frs
$ Chief Justice. The pre-eminent publ
e services of John Jay and the hig

DEFIED THE POLICE.

DUBLIN, August 9.-Alice Barry defied
the police, who were sent to execute a
writ OF eviction against her at Knocklade,
county Antrim, to day. She barricaded
her house and, with the assistance
OF some friends, defended it for
long time against large
force of officers, who attempted to take it
by storm, and who were many times re-
pulsed by volleys of stones and streams of
boiling water thrown upon them. The
police finally captured the house by n
charge with fixed bayonets, but not till
many of them were hurt, and one OF them
was badly pitchforked. Five of the de-
tenders of Alice Barry's house were placed
under arrest.

WASHINGTON, August 9.-Invitation:
continue pouring on the president, and al
most the entire time of one clerk at the
White House is occupied in scheduling
and recording them. He has been invited
to visit almost every city in the west and
so1th, including San Francisco, New Or
leins and Galveston. 1t would be almost
impossible for the president to accept all
of them, even if he devoted the balance of
the year to that purpose. So, it will
pc seen, that some places will
have to be sighted. Among the invita-
tions received to-day was one from Gov
ernor Gray, of Indiana, urging the presi-
dent to stop at Indianapolis on his way
through that state.
A telegram was also received from
Providence, asking the president to visit
that city on his rumored trip to Marion,
Mass, where Mrs. Cleveland is visiting.
This was only one of the invitations ans

Ireland, as he desires to take a quiet look
around, and examine into the condition

thus far on European soil has not recon

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
BURNETT, August 9.-Last week Capt D.
G. Sherrard, in company with Mr.. Rainier,
of New Jersey, and Hon. Wheeler Ulmer,
of Virginia, made two days exploration
of the cave situated on the farms of him
self and Mr.. T. B. Woods, about twelve
miles from town. They explored many
new chambers and avenues never entered
before, and travelled two and half miles
in one passage; in another passage they
encountered large pool of ice-cold water,
and as the location of the pool is in dry
part of his pasture, Captain s.
intends to dig down from above
for the purpose of using the
water for his stock. This alone will pay
him for the trouble of the exploratl ION.
and minerals, but nothing of material
value.
Mr.. Ross Landrum, one of Burnet's
first-class mechanics, has sold his house
and lot to Mrs. M. L. Coffee, and will
leave about the Goth of this month for
California, where he intends to make his
future home. We wish Mr.. Landrum an
abundance of prosperity in his new home.
